Figure 8.4.5.6.1.1 shows the network model for the Intra-MSC BSS Internal Handover, where the call leg pertinent to the UE-1 is handed over from the serving BSS-1 to BSS-2. BSS-1 is the same as BSS-2 for BSS Internal Handover. The bearer termination T2 is used for the bearer towards BSS-2, which is not affected by this handover. Bearer termination TS is used for the bearer towards BSS-1 and the bearer terminations T1 and TA are used for the bearer towards the succeeding/preceding MGW. Bearer termination TT is for the bearer termination towards the BSS after internal handover. The colours and line types used in the figure are defined differently from TS 23.205 to indicate LCLS specific issues.
Figure 8.4.5.6.2.1 shows the message sequence example for the BSS Internal Handover that Breaks Local Switching.
In the example, the MSC server receives the Internal Handover Required message and requests the MGW to reserve an RTP bearer termination (TT) using the Reserve and Configure RTP Connection Point procedure with specific flow directions.
The BSS-2 sends the LCLS_Connect_Control_Ack message with the LCLS-BSS-Status IE set to "the call is locally switched with requested LCLS configuration".
The MSC-1 Server determines that local switching is permitted by the core network and sends the Internal Handover Command message, optionally including the LCLS-Connection-Control-Status message indicating "Connect".
